Situated on the Atlantic side of Florida’s coastline, Seminole Golf Club is considered by critics to be one of the finest examples of golf course routing.
Situated on the Atlantic side of Florida’s coastline, Seminole Golf Club is considered by critics to be one of the finest examples of golf course routing.
Donald Ross originally designed Seminole in the 1920s and it was the first outstanding course to be built in America’s deepest South. Situated on the Atlantic side of Florida’s coastline, Seminole Golf Club is considered by critics to be one of the finest examples of golf course routing. With small greens and serious trouble lurking beyond the flagstick, this is not a course to attack.
The site chosen for the course features a number of sand dune ridges that were carefully brought into play with some fairways directed towards elevated green sites while others drop down from sandy peaks to flatter terrain. Both nines set out from the clubhouse on level ground before veering into the 40-foot dune ridge that runs alongside the western edge of the property.
The greens at Seminole are the main line of defence for the course and many of them are cleverly angled, narrowing towards the back, which makes rear pin positions a very tough proposition. Fairway bunkers are generally shallow but flash-faced sand traps adjacent to putting surfaces are often deep and troublesome.
The par four 6th is a wonderful hole on the outward half, played to an offset putting surface that’s protected by bunkers on both sides of a long, narrow green. Holes 11 and 14 are memorable for the uphill approach shots to be played to the pin and the all-carry second shot to the par four 12th is another highlight on the inward half.
Seminole was one of 18 “Gourmet’s Choice” courses selected for The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses Volume 2 – The Americas (winter destinations). Tom Doak commented as follows:
“The faces of the bunkers, flashed up by Dick Wilson in the early 1950s, were returned to grass by Brian Silva a decade ago to cut down on the washouts from summer rains here, but the club keeps the faces mowed tight so that a ball that finishes short of the green (or rolls back off) will roll down into the sand. Only one new tee has been added: and extension of the 1st and 10th tees that connects the two back by the prop shop, which Ben Crenshaw had noticed on Ross’ original drawing for the course.
Otherwise, there has been no concern for adding length to the course. At 6,800 yards, the coastal breezes make Seminole plenty for any golfer to handle. Unlike many clubs, the members here understand that the professionals are their guests, and you don’t build new features for the guests.”
Architects Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw were engaged in 2017 to carry out a three-year renovation of the course which focused on rebuilding bunkers, removing trees and restoring sandy expanses between the holes.
A few extra yards were found for the TaylorMade Driving Relief event in aid of Covid-19 charities in 2020. The Seminole card measured 7,265 yards for the skins fundraiser and the layout proved to be a decent challenge when Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson needed to win a nearest-the-pin tiebreaker to beat opponents Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff.
The club hosted the 48th Walker Cup Match in 2021, with the United States winning a closely-fought contest against Britain & Ireland by 14 points to 12.
US South Atlantic Division Best in State Rankings 2018 Our Best in State biennial re-ranking exercise for the United States of America reaches the halfway stage with this news release for the eight South Atlantic states of Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. In this revision, we’ve expanded four of those state charts so there are now four hundred and five different courses featured across this geographical region, almost double the number listed in our inaugural 2012 state listings three editions ago. In the last few months, we’ve processed the Pacific, Mountain, East South Central and West South Central Divisions and, before the summer is over, we’ll have updated the standings for states in West and East North Central, the Mid-Atlantic and New England Divisions. But first to matters in hand and The South Atlantic region which has seventeen courses currently occupying positions in our US Top 100, making it one of the nation’s strongest golfing territories. We start in Delaware, the second smallest state in the USA with a population of around one million. Delaware Located an hour’s drive north of Dover, the state capital, lies the small town of Greenville in New Castle County, where the Bidermann course displaces Wilmington's South course as the number 1 golfing layout in our First State rankings. Redesigned by Dick Wilson in the mid-1960s, the Bidermann course sees less than ten thousand rounds played on it during the year, hence there’s no need to allocate tee times for a membership numbering fewer than three hundred. The only new entry in the state chart arrives at number 14 and it’s a mid-1980s design from Algie M. Pulley at Cripple Creek Golf and Country Club near Bethany Beach which has recently had its fairways and approach areas successfully converted to Latitude 36 bermuda grass. The club has also increased the size of its short game practice area, allowing more players to hone their chipping and putting skills. Rank/ Click this link to see full details of our 2018 Delaware Best in State courses. Florida The Sunshine State is a golfing powerhouse, with the top half dozen tracks in Florida also ranked nationally. The state Top 100 is headed by the Donald Ross-designed course at Seminole in Juno Beach, where two of our well-travelled correspondents paid a visit last year. Javier Pintos, our Argentina correspondent, called it both “special” and “charming” with David Davis, our International Correspondent declaring it “one of the best routed and most interesting courses in the world”. The two older, more established tracks at Streamsong, the Red and the Blue, ease up one place in the new table to number 3 and number 4 but it’s the Gil Hanse-designed Black course (the first of nine new entries at number 6) that’s causing a stir since it opened last year. Our US Consultant Fergal O’Leary has played the course, calling it a “gigantic piece of golf minimalism of enormous scale (where) fairways, waste areas and greens are amongst the biggest I’ve seen… the sheer scale of the property is a lot to comprehend”. Two other tracks make impressive upward moves in the upper echelons of the new state listings and they’re situated right next door to each other in Hobe Sound. Tom Fazio’s 18-hole design at McArthur Golf Club enters the Top 10 for the first time with a seven-place rise to number 9 and Bobby Weed’s recent renovation of the Medalist Golf Club course leads to a Top 20 debut after a climb of six places to number 18. Michael Jordan is currently building a new course near Hobe Sound called Grove XXIII, paying homage to the number 23 he wore for most of his basketball career. Tom Doak was considered for the project, but the NBA legend selected Bobby Weed who will stay on site to supervise the design process which is due to complete in 2019. We expect Grove XXIII to feature prominently in our 2020 Florida rankings. Click this link to see full details of our 2018 Florida Best in State courses. Georgia Still the number one track in the Peach State standings, Augusta National Golf Club is regarded by many as an elusive golfing shrine, the one place – apart from the Old course at St Andrews – they would most like to play, given the chance, which is a lot easier said than done because invitations are very few and far between. Some might say its lavish conditioning represents much of what’s wrong with golf in the modern era but we’re sure such critics will be glued to their television for four days when the Masters tournament comes around every April. On the southeast perimeter of the course, across the other side of Rae’s Creek, lies Augusta Country Club (up five to number 8) which was formed in 1897, way before its more famous near neighbour was ever thought about. Once a 36-hole facility, the club now operates an 18-hole layout (formerly called the Hill) that was redesigned by Donald Ross in 1927. Brian Silva carried out a remarkable restoration here early in the new millennium and this work is only now being fully appreciated. The Crabapple course at Capital City Club (at number 17) is the highest of ten new Georgian entries as we extend the state chart to a Top 50. A Tom Fazio design from 2002, the course sits on a property some twenty-two miles north of the club’s other 18-hole Brookhaven course, located next to Atlanta National Golf Club in Milton. The Crabapple made a big impact the year after opening when it hosted the 2003 WGC-American Express Championship which Tiger Woods won by two strokes from three other players. We are keeping a watchful eye on Gil Hanse's new layout at Ohoopee Match Club, which is due to open later this year on land formerly used for growing onions – it's sure to make a bold statement in our 2020 rankings. According to Hanse, who was interviewed by Golf Course Architecture; “the course is going to be a ton of fun to play, and owner Michael Walrath founded the club to foster the experience of match play. We have tried to design a course that will feature a lot of half par holes and some expansive hazards. The sandy site is conducive to that and we are excited about what we have cooked up.” Click this link to see full details of our 2018 Georgia Best in State courses. Maryland The top three places in the Old Line State listings remain the same as last time so the East course at Baltimore Country Club is still the state number 1. Laid out by A. W. Tillinghast in 1926, the course – known locally as Five Farms – has hosted many prestigious amateur and professional events, including the 1928 PGA Championship, the 1932 US Amateur, the 1965 Walker Cup and the 1988 US Women’s Open. Keith Foster completed a well-received restoration of the course in 2015, reviving much of the original design intent. The first of three new entries appears at number 15 and it’s The Links at Perry Cabin near St Michael’s in Talbot County. The course was originally built by Andy Dye in the 1960s but it fell on hard times and closed in 2015. The rebuilt layout is another Dye family production and this time it’s a collaboration between P.B. Dye and his parents Pete and Alice Dye, featuring a brilliant Biarritz green on the par three 7th and an iconic island green on the par three 17th. Click this link to see full details of our 2018 Maryland Best in State courses. North Carolina The fabled No.2 course at the Pinehurst Resort in Moore County sits atop our chart for the Tar Heel State, which we’ve now increased in size to a Top 75. Designed by Donald Ross in 1907, the layout was tweaked on an almost continual basis by the old master right up until he died in 1948, and Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw’s recent renovation has breathed new life into an old golfing masterpiece that certainly looked at its very best during both the US Open and US Women’s Open in 2014. Regular contributor M. James Ward had this to say about the course last year: “Pinehurst #2 is one of those few ‘must’ plays for the architectural cognoscenti. If one can secure permission, it pays to walk the course prior to any round and really see the manner in which the ‘small details’ all add up… #2 is number one in my book for any design student to view first hand. If the opportunity allows to play enough rounds the discerning elements will only add to your enjoyment in playing this iconic layout.” Another couple of Donald Ross tracks enter the Top 10: Roaring Gap Club thunders up the listings from number 12 to number 6 and Mid Pines Club advances nine places to number 8. Our aforementioned raters Fergal O’Leary and David Davis visited Roaring Gap independently not so long ago and they mentioned there was “plenty of charm about this massively underrated course” located on “a great and interesting property” whilst another of our top reviewers, Richard Smith, played Mid Pines Club just a few weeks ago, when he said: “In Contrast to modern designs, which seek to intimidate the golfer while actually allowing for quite a bit of room for most shots, designer Donald Ross accomplished the opposite here. Relatively benign and open holes actually require very precise placement to play the hole properly.” The highest new entry at number 23 is the Elk River Club in Avery County, positioned at an altitude of 3,500 feet above sea level in the Blue Ridge Mountains between the ski resorts of Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain. Despite the fabulous mountain scenery that surrounds the layout, the fairways actually occupy quite flat terrain and the course had the distinction in 1984 of being the first Jack Nicklaus Signature Course to open in North Carolina. Click this link to see full details of our 2018 North Carolina Best in State courses. South Carolina The Palmetto State has had another handful of courses added to its ranking chart so we now highlight the Top 80 layouts in South Carolina. The Ocean course at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort retains its status as the number 1 course in the state and many consider it to be one of Pete Dye’s best designs. Opened just in time to host the 29th edition of Ryder Cup matches in 1991, the Ocean course is one of five 18-hole layouts within a fabulous resort that offers ninety holes of championship golf in a stunning location overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Three courses make noteworthy progress inside the new table’s Top 10 positions. At number 4 (up three places) there’s the Robert Trent Jones Snr-designed layout at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, site of the US Women’s Open in 1962, which has been providing a stiff test for golfers since it first opened in 1948. Hard on its heels at number 5 (up six spots) comes the much-revered (and much-revised) layout at Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, where many top architects – Gil Hanse the latest – have had a hand restoring the course back to its 1895 origins. And at number 7 (up six places), the course at Chechessee Creek Club near Okatie is a Coore & Crenshaw design – described by one reviewer as “a tour through nature” – that’s adopted a rather low profile since it debuted in 2000. The highest newcomer on the South Carolina chart emerges at a very commendable number 12 and it’s the result of a philanthropic project developed between the small settlements of Ridgeland and Grays in Jasper County by a couple of high-end private golf club owners in The Carolinas. The course at Congaree Golf Club is a Tom Fazio layout set within a vast site that was once nothing other than a rice plantation and the architect has routed the fairways around an old plantation house, stables and courtyard, affording a painstakingly preserved 19th century ambiance equivalent to, as one recent reviewer wrote, being “invited behind the curtains to witness a land where time has no meaning”. Click this link to see full details of our 2018 South Carolina Best in State courses. Virginia We’ve added another ten courses to the Old Dominion chart to form a state Top 50 which is still led by the Kinloch Golf Club in Goochland County at number 1. Designed by architect Lester George in conjunction with Vinnie Giles, the US Amateur champion in 1972 (who also won the British equivalent three years later), the course exhibits something of a split personality as the front nine is routed through forested terrain with the back nine laid out around an enormous 70-acre lake. The most significant leap up the listings is made by the newly upgraded 18-hole layout in Albemarle County called Full Cry at Keswick Hall, soaring eighteen places to number 7. The original course dates back to 1949 though Arnold Palmer upgraded this layout in the early 1990s. When the property changed hands in 2012, Pete Dye was called in to redesign the course and he’s added more than a thousand yards to the length while simultaneously changing the par on more than half the holes. The new entry to make the biggest impression in this chart is Boonsboro Country Club in Lynchburg (new at number 14) where Willie Park Jnr arrived in 1922 to set out a course for the club which Fred Findlay eventually completed seven years later. Modifications have been made since then, of course, most appreciably in 1964 when holes were re-sequenced due to the construction of a swimming pool and in 1981 when Rees Jones carried out some work. Donald Ross and William Flynn's historic legacies at Washington Golf & Country Club in Arlington are currently being renovated as is Mike Stranz's layout at Royal New Kent. It remains to be seen where these rejuvenated courses will land in our 2020 rankings. Click this link to see full details of our 2018 Virginia Best in State courses. West Virginia The courses in the top five positons in the Mountain State chart remain as they were before this latest reappraisal took place which means the 18-hole layout at the Pete Dye Golf Club in Bridgeport remains in the number 1 slot. Situated in the hill country of Harrison County, the course is laid out on the site of an old coal mine so there are various reminders of the property’s former use dotted around the layout. Opened in 1994, it actually took all of sixteen years to get the project off the drawing board and into play! The only West Virginian new entry is the Woodhaven course at Glade Springs in Raleigh County, replacing the Greenbriar course at the Greenbriar Resort which is currently closed for reconstruction by Phil Mickelson’s design firm. The Tom Clark-designed Woodhaven is the toughest of the three 18-hole layouts at a fabulous 54-hole resort in Daniels, due to the undulating, forested nature of the terrain that the course is set out on.

US South Atlantic Division Best in State Rankings 2016 Another eight States in our South Region are revised in the fifth of nine US divisional updates We’ve now reached the halfway mark in our Best in State biennial re-ranking process for the United States of America. In 2014, we conducted this exercise in four phases, looking at states in the geographical groupings of West, South, Midwest and North East. This time around, we’re spreading the reappraisals across nine district divisions and this re-ranking announcement (the fifth of our 2016 US reviews) covers the eight South Atlantic states of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. We’re also increasing our coverage across almost every state in the country. For example, in this eight-state South Atlantic division, we’re adding seventy new courses, which means we now feature a total of 375 ranked courses for the states under scrutiny. Florida We maintain a Top 100 chart for the Sunshine State of Florida, which might appear to be rather a lot of courses to feature in just one state but in actual fact it represents less than 10% of the overall number of courses within post-war America’s golfing capital. Miami and Palm Beach were once the main state hotspots for golf but Orlando, the Panhandle and Naples have witnessed unprecedented growth in the last thirty years. The top six positions in our Florida listings remain exactly the same as last time around, with five of these courses nationally ranked in what is a very strong golfing region. That means the Donald Ross layout at Seminole remains the number 1 course and a recent reviewer, alluding to its difficulty, had this to say about it: “Like a number of great courses, Seminole might be a bit much for anyone but expert golfers to play regularly. But the opportunity to play here should not be missed.” Three courses make significant upward moves at the top end of the chart. The first of these is Mountain Lake (up twelve to 8), a wonderful old Seth Reynor gem from 1917 that’s peppered with several typical template holes. The next big climber is the West course at John’s Island (up eight to 11), which is a terrific late 1980s Tom Fazio track, located within a smart 54-hole private club. The third track is the Blue Monster at Trump National Doral (up five to 17), where Gil Hanse carried out a much-admired renovation in 2013. Rank/ Click this link to see full details of our 2016 Florida Best in State rankings Georgia We’ve added ten courses to our chart for the Peach State of Georgia, where Augusta National retains its position at the top of the standings. For 99.99% of golfers, it’s just a pipe dream to play here but one of the Top 100 Team did just that a few years back and if you haven’t read Fergal O’Leary’s story before then click this link. Meantime, and back to this year’s Masters tournament, who would have dreamt it would all start to unravel for the defending champion at the short par three 12th on the last day, allowing an Englishman to overtake him and eventually win the event by three shots… The Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw resort course at Cuscowilla is almost twenty years old but it’s still one of their earlier projects. Situated to the east of Atlanta, on the shores of Lake Oconee, this very natural looking layout just appears to improve with age, maturing into one of the finest tracks in the South Atlantic Region, which is reflected in its latest upward chart movement, rising three places to number 3. The highest newcomer to the revised chart at number 20 is Cobblestone, a top trending track where twelve of its holes were routed alongside Lake Acworth by Ken Dye back in 1993. Owned by Cobb County and operated as a municipal facility, the course is one of the most popular public golf complexes in the North Atlanta region. Click this link to see full details of our 2016 Georgia Best in State rankings South Carolina We’ve increased the number of courses in our chart for the Palmetto State of South Carolina by 50%, adding another twenty-five tracks to form a Top 75. The Ocean course at the Kiawah Island Resort remains as the number 1 golfing layout in the state and it also sits comfortably within our US Top 100 and World Top 100 charts so don’t expect to see it knocked off the top perch anytime in the near future. The last review for this layout sums up its allure: “the setting in the South Carolina Atlantic Dunes is exceptional, stirs human emotions and presents natural conditions that make the course even more complex and challenging.” The next two courses in our state chart swap places, with Seth Reynor’s 1926 classic at Yeamans Hall dropping one place to number 3, with Harbour Town Golf Links at the Sea Pines Resort leapfrogging over it into the runner-up position. Host to the Heritage Classic on the PGA Tour since 1972, the course underwent a major renovation last year, when tees and fairways were replaced with Celebration Bermuda grass and greens were re-grassed with Tif-Eagle Bermuda. A couple of other courses make strong strides up the new table: May River (up five to number 10), which our Canadian correspondent Dave Finn played last year – “Nicklaus gently created a masterpiece with minimal disturbance to the existing property yet maximum impact by using the existing live oak trees and the May River as his canvas” – and Old Tabby Links (up six to number 14), where Arnold Palmer upgraded the course in 2012, two decades after his original design was first unveiled. Click this link to see full details of our 2016 South Carolina Best in State rankings North Carolina The Tar Heel State chart has been augmented with another ten courses so we now feature a Top 60 for North Carolina, where Pinehurst (No.2) remains the number 1 track. A recent reviewer had this to say about the course: “I had never played it pre Coore & Crenshaw renovation but can imagine that the course that’s there now is a huge improvement… from an architectural perspective it’s sheer genius with some of the most interesting greens you may ever see, coupled with great strategy off the tee and plenty of width to increase playability.” Old Town leaps seven places to number 3 in the state rankings (it was also a new entry in the US Top 100 at #49 six months ago) and the words of a recent reviewer might at least partly explain its meteoric ascent: “Want to make a huge impact on the world of golf? Take a place that’s desperately in need of some serious renovation… have the means to bring in the dynamic duo of Coore & Crenshaw on a wonderful property with the bones of Perry Maxwell. Talk about a formula for success and a poster-child for the golf industry of how to hit a homerun!” Three other courses making impressive moves in the upper reaches of the chart are worthy of mention: Tobacco Road (up five to 9) is Mike Stanz’s audacious and highly original late 1990s creation, Roaring Gap (up thirteen to 12) is an old Donald Ross design that was recently restored by Kris Spence, and Mid Pines (up twenty to 17), is another 1920s Ross layout which received the restorative attention of Kyle Franz in 2013. Click this link to see full details of our 2016 North Carolina Best in State rankings Virginia The Old Dominion state listings have been extended to a Top 40, which means we’ve added ten extra courses in this revision. Still the state number 1, the Kinloch course was host venue for the US Senior Men’s Amateur Championship in 2011. It’s a new millennium co-design from Lester George and Vinny Giles that’s routed around a 70-acre lake, with an additional par three 19th hole intended as a tie-breaker. Two courses make modest upward moves at the top end of the chart: Robert Trent Jones (up one place to number 3), where four of the first six Presidents Cup matches were held from 1994 to 2005, and Olde Farm (up one spot to number 4), which is a Bobby Weed design that opened for play in 2000. The highest new entry arrives at number 22 and it’s Foundry, a fine walking golfer’s course that’s complemented by an excellent caddie program. Click this link to see full details of our 2016 Virginia Best in State rankings West Virginia The number of courses in our Mountain State of West Virginia chart has been increased by 50% to fifteen. There’s not much movement within the new table, indeed all of the top five courses remain in the same position as last time, meaning that Pete Dye retains the top spot in the state standings. There’s a quite a story attached to the length of time it took to convert the site of an old coal mine into a championship golf course – suffice to say its esteemed architect is not short of stamina! The highest new entry of the five state newcomers is the Meadows course at the famous Greenbriar Resort. Originally called “Lakeside,” it opened as a 9-hole layout in 1911, was subsequently expanded to an 18-hole course by Dick Wilson in 1962, then redesigned by Bob Cupp in 1999, when it was also given its current name. Click this link to see full details of our 2016 West Virginia Best in State rankings Maryland Things are rather static in the Old Line State of Maryland – where five courses have been added to its ranking chart – with the top six positions all staying exactly as they were when we last re-ranked in 2014. Baltimore (East) is therefore the state number 1 and it’s a course with a stellar tournament pedigree, having hosted the USPGA Championship (1928), US Amateur (1932), Walker Cup (1965), Women’s US Open (1988) and three US Senior Players Championships (2007-9). The only course to make a positive move within the state Top 10 is the century-old layout at Chevy Chase Country Club. Originally designed by Donald Ross in 1910, the course was rebuilt by Harry Colt’s associate, C.H. Alison, in 1922. A reworking of the greens and bunkers by Arthur Hills in the late 1990s has given this parkland track a new lease of life. Click this link to see full details of our 2016 Maryland Best in State rankings Delaware The First State of Delaware has been expanded to a Top 15 chart, with the South course at Wilmington Country Club holding onto the top spot. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Snr, it’s the longer and tougher of two 18-tracks that opened with a year of each other at the club in the early 1960s. The club has since hosted the US Amateur (1971), two US Junior Amateur Championships (1965 and 1978), the US Girls’ Junior Amateur (1978) and the US Mid-Amateur (2003) so its commitment to the non-professional game can hardly be questioned. Steaming up four places to the runner-up position, the course at Bidermann is a Dick Wilson design from 1965 which is shared by two clubs, Vicmead Hunt and Bidermann, located within a few miles of each other. With a combined membership of only around three hundred people, tee times are not required on a course that sees less than eight thousand rounds a year.
